Lutz may be injured from trying to search in Japanese. That means Kurobe with 4 players out, and hence their results are pretty bad. No mention of the injury, but just trying to see why she is not playing.
Kelsey with tons of swings for Toyota today. Now Toyota 2 wins away from even 10th.
Saga Put out press release on Foluke feeling sick, no mention of Covid, so maybe food poisoning or a cold, but still sweeping today.
NEC with the sweep of Hitachi.
whats with Toray and JT sharing siblings? Ogawa siblings and now Nishikawa siblings. Are they near in location?
Forgot about that , the Ogawa's too . Nishikawas went to HS in Osaka, Ogawas in Okayama ... if that's what you asked about location

i mean JT and Torays location
Yuki Nishikawa is the VOM! Deservedly so.
i mean JT and Toray's location
toray is based in otsu, shiga, and jt is based in osaka, hyogo.
hyogo and shiga seem rather close, and the japanese usually just use bullet trains to travel from prefecture to prefecture.
i mean JT and Torays location
They are both in that middle chunk of Japan by Kyoto. I think that's where the cool people in Japan are

Toyota's joyful spirit was absent, couldn't wait to turn that one off
Kurobe's in trouble. Poor things . Gunma's gunning for you
Himeji / Okayama outdid the PFU / Toyota match for match of the year so far because it was way better defensive volleyball. And the match had a great announcer who road the rollercoaster. And Risa Shinnabe. Does she smoke pot?
Hitachi looks worse than Toyota 
JT has no weak link. Yuki Nishikawa is ready for her close up. Toray looks more out of sorts than just un-Kurogo
My girl, ballet dancin' Kasumi Nojima is making her move 
9/16, 5 blocks ...
Just for kicks I thought I'd tally up what kind of floors we got going this year so far. I think I've tallied them correctly 
:
SAGA wins with having the FIVB floor in both arenas so far
Hitachi has the FIVB floor at
Saitama has a Fake FIVB floor at ( it's a fake home and it's blue and two salmon colors instead of green and one salmon)
Most arenas have the glossy wood parquet deal:
These losers have what looks like a plastic roll out in a color I can only describe as a pale shade of baby poop:
Disappointed in Himeji and the NoSmilers on that front. If you are going to go temporary, at least be colorful. And Himeji has the color profile of the cameras set so badly it looks like two different arenas. This is an actual split screen replay:
Catching up on the Kurobe 0–3 PFU match. Kurobe had Team Receive @60% but Kill @22% ... ouch
Pimpichaya didn't dress Kurobe should consider Miku Shimada at OH. She seems like the smartest player on the team, and she back attacks as MB so what have they got to lose? Seems like a waste for her not to get floor time
So nice to see and have Yuri Nabeya back in form. She didn't have a great game but she still looks cool and is a lot of fun
I'm shocked at how much Melissa Valdes has improved her passing. I no longer feel the need to put my hand on the panic button when the ball goes in her direction
Stat people credited one of Watabiki's blocks to Valdes. Natsumi would still be ahead of Foluke if not for that error
Still disappointed Kagamihara isn't playing ... and only a few swings from Sanae Watanabe
Kurobe is pretty decimated and PFU only really clobbered them in the last set. Don't know what to make of that
Yoshino Nishikawa has the opportunity of a lifetime tonight. I hope she gets the start and bangs the drum. Yoshino's still a teenager but Noro is not cutting it. Noro's kind of a tough guy but she's so round, or something. Toray's got no depth.

Girl got 2 surnames in her name
Noro is just that girl no one talks about other than when referring to her as Mayu's bestie. Every team needs a filler ig
I think this may be the first time I'm noticing Panasonic Arena or I just don't remember it well but it is so big and the blue looks really good. It's probably the only venue where Saga's white jerseys stand out

oh wow, I had the Saitama/SAGA match in the books as at Shimadzu Arena Kyoto. Thanks for bringing it up. Fixed it. Saitama's fake home FIVB floor is there. I agree the Blue looks cool.
I watch a lot of Japanese films and they don't use color much either
Okay Toyota, let's go. Don't bring me pain 
Messy Hair getting the start over Cherry Blossom 
Hyodo 
... oops
I expect Toyota to at least play well in between blunders, but it ain't happening
Toyota even has trouble handing out timeout towels properly
